STEP 1. Calculate the total square footage of the landscape area and Insert
that number into Space A (Round the number to the nearest hundred).
STEP 2. Insert the Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo) in Space B from

factor per hydrozone. If a medium plant factor and a low plant factor are in the
same hydrozone, the factor is medium. Place that number in Space E.
